NOT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY, OF COURSE

The Jewish Community in Denmark will contact police about an imam at a mosque in Copenhagen’s Nørrebro neighbourhood who encouraged attacks on Jews during a Friday service, reports newspaper Kristeligt Dagblad.

The complaint will be based on a video recording of a Friday service at the Masjid al-Faruq mosque in Nørrebro on March 31st this year. The recording was translated from Arabic to English by American institute Memri.

According to the translation, imam Mundhir Abdallah quotes a hadith – a report of a speech by the Prophet Mohammed used in Islamic scripture – which incites violence against Jews.

“Judgement Day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them. The Jews will hide behind the rocks and the trees, but the rocks and trees will say: ‘Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him,’” says the imam according to the translation by Memri.
